This thesis explored the factors of sunflower foreign trade in Croatia. The Republic of Croatia is not far behind a lot of other European countries regarding the yields and prices and the value of export is greater than the value of import, which means that Croatia produces sufficient quantities of sunflower. The largest producers of sunflower are the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Argentina and China. According to the data from the ten-year period from 2003 to 2012, Croatia produced an average of 79169.5 tons of sunflower annually. The average seed yield is 2.31 to 3.10 t / ha. According to recent data, in 2011 Croatia exported 55,909 tonnes and imported 763 tonnes of sunflower. Sunflower production in Croatia needs to be encouraged and improved in order to increase the quantity and quality of sunflower, which would result in satisfying domestic needs and reducing imports. gimports
